Product Description
This book, the latest addition to the acclaimed Norton Run on Interpersonal Neurobiology, brings interpersonal neurobiology into the counseling room, weaving the concepts of neurobiology into the ever-changing flow of therapy. Neuroscientific discoveries have begun to illuminate the workings of the active brain in intricate detail. In fact, sometimes it seems that in order to be a cold-edge therapist, not only do you need knowledge of habitual psychotherapeutic models, but a solid understanding of the role the brain plays as well. But theory is never enough. You also need to know how to apply the theories to work with actual clients during sessions.
In simple-to-know prose, Being a Brain-Wise Therapist reviews the basic principles about brain structure, function, and development, and clarifies the neurobiological correlates of some familiar diagnostic categories. You will learn how to make theory come to life in the midst of clinical work, so that the principles of interpersonal neurobiology can be applied to a range of patients and issues, such as couples, teens, and children, and those dealing with depression, anxiety, and other disorders. Liberal use of exercises and case histories enliven the material and make this an essential guide for seamlessly integrating the latest neuroscientific research into your therapeutic do. .

I found this book to be extremely articulate and demonstrative of what I have found intuitively in my own do as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. It further validated the helpfulness of therapeutic relationship with the client, art therapy, sand tray therapy/sand play, and other therapeutic tools that help result in about integration. Now I have the brain research, neurobiology language to help my clients know what we are doing in therapy and how their brain “nets” play a role in their overall mental/emotional health. My clients are fascinated to learn about the brain and attachment and it has helped the therapeutic administer by the side of in many situations.

This book was a major disappointment, as it doesn’t live up to the quality of other books in the Norton Interpersonal Neurobiology run. This book is pretty much a basic (and at times concrete) distillation of Daniel Siegal’s two books. It attempts to apply Siegal’s (and Allan Schore’s) thoughts to the pratice of psychotherapy, but does so in a overly simplistic and flowery manner. If you want an introduction to Siegal’s and Schore’s work then I urge that you read instead Cozolino’s books on neuroscience of psychotherapy and human relationships. They are much more solid and sophisticated in their presentation of these thoughts. But, I judge the best synthesis of these topics (attachment theory, mentalization, neuroscience of psychotherpay, relational psychanalysis, mindfulness)is Wallin’s “Attachment in Psychotherapy.” This is truly a brilliant synthesis of these thoughts and their matter-of-fact application to the consulting room. I couldn’t urge Wallin’s book more.

What a wonderful integration of neuroscience with compassionate psychotherapy! The author does a very skillful job of making the complexities of neuroscience understandable, and integrating this in rank with the clinical applications that are necessary to making it work on a matter-of-fact level. Required reading for my intern therapists…

BEING A BRAIN-WISE THERAPIST: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INTERPERSONAL NEUROBIOLOGY adds to Norton’s Run on Interpersonal Neurobiology and provides college-level counseling students and practitioners with a powerful review of the basics on brain structure, function, and neurobiological theories. Exercises and case histories accompany wide-ranging discussions of spirituality, brain injury, personality changes, and more. It’s a discussion no mental health and psychology library collection should omit.
